Is Bloodborne the scariest non-horror game?
Is it scary or just groogly moogly?
Orphan of Kos is pretty spooky

>bloodborne

ok senpai
>>322080746
Do you have any other game to refute it with?
>>322080843
It's not really horror if you can easily fuck things up with a sword.
>>322080948
A game doesn't have to have survival elements to be in the horror genre.
>>322080948
so, silent hills isn't horror because you can shoot things?
nigga go to sleep.
>>322080183
Is Bloodborne is shittest boring game?
>>322081180
Silent hills has no guns retard
>>322081319
why do i bother responding
bloodborne is a horror game
>>322081454
The way she holds that shotgun really fucking triggers me
>>322080183
It's not scary, so no.
>>322080183
If you're scared of fighting copy and pasted Cockney farmers for hours then yes.

>>322080183
It has some of the most disgusting stuff for sure
Maybe Bioshock.
>>322080948
You don't actually know what horror means, do you? Hint, it has nothing to do with actually being scared, or feeling powerless; that would be terror.
>>322081645
All the characters in the Silent Hill are supposed to be idiots when handling guns since they have no IRL experience.... Give them a break...

God damn kids.
>>322082636
Congrats. You used google. Now im sure that fits bloodborn as many of the bosses and creatures get some base off classic/modern horror literature. I dont even play it but i can tell that thing in the OP is lovecraft based. Also shit has like murderous villagers, warewolfs , and undead. Ill be your brain for you seeing as you forgot where you put yours. You should an hero.
>>322083313
>"horror doesn't mean scary"
>the literal definition is "intense feeling of fear"
I'm not saying anything about Bloodborne because I just got it, you're just a fucking idiot.
>>322080183
>scariest?
No. Creepiest? Maybe.
>>322080183
No. S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl holds that title easily. Call of Pripyat is good too but SoC is the scarier gane between the two of them.
>>322083313
Jesus Christ I can READ how fat you are.
>>322081263
oh shit nigger what are you doing?
The only time you're scared in bloodborne is when something is fucking your shit up
>>322082147
>tfw they hit you with their stun beam again immediately after you come out of your recovery animation
Only thing scary about blunderborn is the frames
No, that would be pic related
>>322080856
Refute what? You didn't make a claim, you asked a question. Anon provided an answer. There is nothing to refute.
>>322084243
I want to see somebody do another framerate analysis. Patch 1.07 noticeably improved performance in some areas. I've logged almost 1000 hours. I know what I'm talking about.
Scary? No.
Spooky? Yes.
It made me go ''the fuck is that?'' more times than ''WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT?!''

>>322080183
How old are you memelord?
Do think Devil May Cry is scary too?
>>322084243
Still more frames than PC will ever get ;)
>>322084716

>>322081124
except it literally does.
>>322084794

A counterexample then

Don't take this from us, anon. It's literally all we have.
>>322080183
i cant even tell what that is how is that scary?
>>322084581
Cleric beast still chokes the frame rate even this afternoon when I played him.
PT is the creepiest game btw
>More tentacles = more spooky
When will this lovecraft meme end
>>322084905
>never played it
But I have ..friend who is a huge souls fag bought it was done with it in a month
>>322084645I like to browse it while taking a shit
It's been stressing me out since the start, and it's only getting worse.
The lecture hall almost gave me a heart attack.
>>322082147
An easy way to cheese those fuckers and save your insight and life probably, is to just quickly save and quit. You wait through two loading screens but its worth it.
>>322085042
>Cleric beast still chokes the frame rate
Yes but when drops occur, they're less severe. The laggiest spots are LESS laggy now.
>>322085051

>>322085068
He probably didn't even replay it more than once. Pre DLC there was already 10-ishgive or takeplaythroughs worth of builds and stat setups depending on how focused or narrow each build was.

No, that would mean you can't have a fucking discussion on 4chan because faggots just play "pretend to be dumb" card until the other person gets tired and they win by default.
>>322085164
Very dirty of you anon

Bloodborne is the best souls game by-far and no one can argue against this

>groogly moogly
I like your adjectives. I'm going to steal them.
>>322084243
There's no need to be jealous, anon. I'm sure your platform of choice has a good game or two.
>>322084794
A great game that runs at 30 fps is INFINITELY better than a good game that runs at 60. There is so much more that goes into making a game worthwhile than its technical prowess. I wish this PCmasterrace mentality would go away.
And I'm not saying that you shouldn't strive for as much as you can get. But people who prefer DS2 because it's 60fps, and people like TotalBiscuit who refuse to play Bloodborne because it's 30fps, really burn my ass.
>>322086973
>A great game that runs at 30 fps i
Thats implying BB even runs at 30
I feel like, even if we count the horror games it still ranks at least top 5
I tried to co-op with my wife. It gave her nightmares appatently. waste of a psn and dlc purchase,
>>322080843
Bloodborne is not a horror game because the game's ultimate goal is to put you through a monster/demon/abomination based adventure.
The ultimate goal is not to scare you. It may have scary creatures. It may have scary moments. But it isn't a horror game.

Pretending ANY of the Souls games have enough moveset variety that they're on the level of DMC or Dragon's Dogma classes is sad enough.
>>322088050
Good thing nobody said it did or was trying to.
>>322088050
Nobody ever said or pretended or claimed that though. And don't get all fappy about DD. It's not that special. I've logged 500 hours. The combat is fun, but it's not even in the same REALM as DMC or proper character action.
>>322088049
Knowing this, you still made her play it
You are very sadistic, anon
>>322085292
I like Bloodborne but you're actually fucking retarded if you think this. There were 5 builds before. STR/BT got added and now there are 6.
>>322088212
>There were 5 builds before. STR/BT got added and now there are 6.
This is how fucking stupid you "no builds" retards are? Holy shit!!
You can make any fucking build you want. Being so fucking pathetic as to limit yourself to general archetypes like "STR" and "STR/ARC" and whatnot is fucking pathetic. You're playing the game ion the least varied and most limiting way and then whining about it on the internet later.
I had 7 different character with unique setups and themes/builds/playstyles BEFORE The Old Hunters released. BEFORE. Now? I've gonna have to delete builds because I want to play new ones.
>>322088182
>>322088191
>But I didn't LITERALLY say it
Suddenly people are too stupid for context-based hyperbole when it's a game they like.
Never mind, it's a handful at best, and only if you're so bored you can't play anything else.
>>322088472
Nobody was talking about moveset variety at all, you're just not even having the same conversation. Might as well be talking to yourself.
>>322088427
>I had 7 different character with unique setups and themes/builds/playstyles BEFORE The Old Hunters released.
You're delusional as shit. Just because you can make one Strength character use Kirkhammer and Hunter's Axe and another with the same exact stats use the Cannon and Wheel, does not somehow mean the game has more variety. It just means you're limiting your characters for the sake of some placebo effect that gets you to think vanilla had a lot of content
>>322080183
Shit's got nothing on Banjo Kazooie. That terrified me as a kid.
Also because you're a badass who goes around killing the Eldritch pantheon. There's nothing to be scared of.
Except for chime maidens that are placed next to each other in Chalice Dungeons. Fuck right off with that.
>>322088879
>with the same exact stats
Why would i use the exact same stats? Why wouldn't I change it up?
You're the only one holding the game back champ.
>>322088998
Way to miss the point you fucking idiot.
>>322088050
>Dragon's Dogma
Fuck off, there are literally only 4 movesets in that game and a couple of specific skills per vocation.
Lately there has been ever increasing ridiculous claims about that game.
I don't think Bloodborrne is ever scary in the way a horror game tries to be scary. I never gasped or jumped the way I did when I played PT. It does a very good job of being unsettling and creepy though. I don't think spooky is the same thing as scary necessarily.

>>322088427
What the fuck are you talking about?
STR/ARC is a shorthand way of describing character focus. You can describe any unique character by their primary stats because there's only so many in the game, and how many actual points you have in whatever is irrelevant.
In the same vein, some stat combinations just aren't supported by the game in any meaningful way. Making a build with a BLT/ARC focus is pointless because there is absolutely zero synergy there.
I was disappointed with the setting shift in bloodborne.
I liked being a cool werewolf hunter and all the lovecraftian stuff was much cooler when it was just on the fringes. As soon as I ran into and killed Rom the game just kinda shit the bed on atmosphere for me. I only completed it because I felt obligated, rather than wanting to.
Good hard gothic fantasy settings are so uncommon nowadays.
>>322089849
It would've gone over better for me if insight wasn't so lame.
>>322089142
I didn't miss any point. You did. You think it's better to go ahead and just make one build for each stat split you commonly see on weapons. That's fucking insane. The fun of a new builds is a combination replaying the game and tackling it with a new weapon and learning to master that weapon in PVP. If you just make "STR BUILD" and "BLT BUILD" You're robbing yourself of hundreds of hours of potential playtime and fun. Not to mention the chance to make specialized builds that focus on the specific strengths and scaling stats of particular weaponry.
>>322090002
Yeah, if they made the gradual accumulation of insight result in seeing more shit I don't think I would have minded it.
Though I probably would have just kept being low insight if that were the case. I like smaller scale things. Being a werewolf hunter was rad. Then it went JRPG and suddenly you were killing old gods.
It was just a really unsatisfying turn for me.
>non-horror
But it is horror.
>>322089162
>recently
>recently got announced for pc
Now I'm not saying these two things are related...
>>322084794
Does that mean if I uncap the framerate in gone home and get like 1000 fps it will actually be a good game?
>>322090073
That makes no sense.
There's no difference in a build that focuses on one quality weapon or another quality weapon, the same character will be able to use both with maximum efficacy. There's only so many ways to split scaling.
It also doubly doesn't make sense for Bloodborne specifically because almost all of the nuanced weapons are at the tail end of the game. You aren't tackling the game with a new weapon when you make a new character, you're going through most of it with the same handful until you get the weapon you actually want.
>The fun of a new builds is a combination replaying the game and tackling it with a new weapon and learning to master that weapon in PVP.
There's this thing called NG+ where once you've finished leveling up specific stats for the group of weapons and items you want optimized on your build you can go through the game with a different weapon you didn't previously go through it with in NG. You don't need to make an entirely new fucking character for one specific weapon and even if you wanted to do that it would make no sense whatsoever if you're looking for more variety in playstyle since the beginning of the game is so restrictive in what tools you use anyway.

BB is good, but Shadow Tower was scarier, and so was The Tower of Latria.
>>322090920
>There's this thing called NG+ where once you've finished leveling up you can go through the game with a different weapon you didn't previously go through it with in NG.
except they patched NG+ enemies and their health bars are extra long now. You really need your best weapons with movesets you know by heart that you build for to get through it at a reasonable pace.
>just use STR weapons on your SKL build what's the big deal :^)
why would you do such a thing
>>322080183
i accidentally killed that spider npc in the lecturers building on what was he going to do?

>mfw this post would have blown you kids the fuck out a couple years ago but now we get replies like this
>>322083995
>>322080183
I wouldn't say its scary but as the game progressed I was increasingly more bewildered by just what the fuck was going on with this world.
I expected Van Helsing and got Cthulu mythos.
>>322091286
>except they patched NG+ enemies and their health bars are extra long now. You really need your best weapons with movesets you know by heart that you build for to get through it at a reasonable pace
Why the fuck does this matter? It's still more variety than you can possibly get on a brand new character which is exactly what YOU YOURSELF clearly value about Bloodborne. You're also greatly overestimating Bloodborne's mechanical depth here. You don't need to know the fucking movesets by heart, just quickly find out the R1 and R2 of each version of a weapon's moveset and use your basic intelligence to apply the moves at the right times.
>>just use STR weapons on your SKL build what's the big deal :^)
What the hell are you babbling about now, retard?
>>322080693
Im assuming the scary parts come from when you're far away from a checkpoint, low on resources don't know where you are how long until you're safe again have a lot of blood echos that you don't want to lose and have no idea whats around the corner and how tough it's gonna be if something does ambush you.
I never actually played bloodborne but the souls series excelled at this kind of fear.
